W4 a if SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUTES Thursday, Sept. 14. liU FINE SCIENTIFIC IN TOP Champion Jack Kaiser Bat tles Olson In Armory To night; Katonen On Card. All the superlative skill that two great legitimate grepplers can muster will be displayed in the armory ring tonight when Jack Kuiser, king of the Pacific Coast light-heavywclghts, clashes with Milt Olson, the Milwaukee, Wis., flash. The non-title clash Is slated BATTLE FOR 4TH By United Press The battle for fourth place and a spot in the post-season Pacific Coast league playoffs was hot today as the re-crowned champion Los Angeles Angels walloped Seattle twice, 8-8 and 4-3, to drop the Ralniers within half a game of the Oakland Acorns, victorious over Port land 2-1. San Francisco took undisputed possession of third, one game be hind the second place Beavers, by defeating San Diego 6-4. Sac ramento dealt Hollywood's play off hopes a heavy blow, banging the.Twinks around 6-1 to leave them still three games behind Seattle. The pennant-winning Angels for one hour's straight wrestling time or the best two out of three falls. Paavo Katonen, the former coast champion who lost his title to Kaiser in a recent Salem match, battles Pat (Rowdy) O'Powdy in the four-round mid dle tiff. Elton Owen and Harold (Uuck) Davidson meet in a three-round curtain-raiser. Probably not in the past sev eral years have two such speedy, clever and smart matmcn tang led in the local arena. Kaiser, still in his 20' 3, has everything it takes to become one of the country's finest orthodox wrest lers, while Olson is rated his equal in every respect. j As a matter of fact. It could Just as well have been Olson who lifted Katonen's coast crown. The only difference is that Kaiser was the lad in the ring with him on that night. Rises Fast Kaiser's rather brief career has been meteoric. Hailing from Vancouver, Wash., he spent most of his time in the northwest, where he developed into a first rate main event attraction. Striking out for more lucra tive fields he went to southern California, and in several months of campaigning hung up a sen sational, undefeated record. Returning to Oregon and the northwest he whipped some more good boys, then got the coveted crack at Katonen and the title. He won, and Is now the gent In the throne room. smashed out six home runs In their double-header win over Seattle, two by Rip Russell and one by Johnny Moore that over came a five-run Rainier lead In the opener, ami one each by Johnnie Ostrowski, Ted Norbert and Billy Sarni in the nightcap. Don Osborn and George Cornel ias were the winning hurlcrs. Portland's Syd Cohen lost his game in the Inst of the ninth when four Oakland singles topped by Jake Caulfield's blow with the bases loaded gave the Acorns two runs and a 2-1 win, credited to Joe Sullivan. The cellar bound San Diego Padres made five early hits off Seal hurler Bill Werle count for four runs, but San Francisco came back to chalk up six tallies In the late innings and defeat Jim Brillhcart. Ben Guintini's triple set off the Seal rally. Score: Portland 1 fl 1 Oakland 2 9 0 Cohen and Adams; Lotz, Sul livan (0) and B. Raimondl.

One of these gentlemen is none other than Leonard (Stub) Allison, of the University of California, who by admitting his team Is shaping up "surpris ingly well," faces disbarment for life from the Coaches' Wall ers and Woeing Association, lo cal 1,876. Stub broke down and told the press that his boys were 'way above expectations. Of course, he may be digging his own grave there, because the chances appear that the Bears will do well to win B0 per cent of their games this year a number not considered enough to mako a "successful" season in the better circles. The other coach who went off the beam and said his club is really good, la Lt, Joe Verduccl, head man of the Coast Guard Sea Lions. Verduccl, a very successful prep mentor in pre-war days, Is basking In the sunlight that makes his team the pre-season favorite to capture the mythi cal west coast service grid crown. "Great," booms the boss man, "I might even say excellent. Our first team Is as sharp as a razor. All the backs stand out. Our ends are blocking expertly and catching some neat passes the latter being thrown by Gonzales Morales, of whom there Is none better." Verduccl admits, of course, that his team hasn't played a game yet but he is enjoying things while he may, probably trying to hide from his mind the fact that the Sea Lions have an eight-game schedule with of Pacific. Yep, it's an ill wind, etc. but it's refreshing for a change, too.
